I found a guys mail that has a WhatsApp group for accountability for those ready to quit virtual. I have sent my number to him. You can do the same. All hope is not lost. We can fight this and have a better life again.

Yeah i used to be some years ago when i was idle, was home doing nothing during one of the stupid ASSU strike. Somehow i found myself hooked to virtual, going to the bet shop almost everyday. I played with any money i could lay my hands on, it was really crazy, most times i trekked back home after losing all my money. After sometime i just made up my mind that this isn't right and not meant for me, so i stopped, not completely at first though but after some time, i completely stopped and the rest is history. You can do it also!!!!

Thank you sir

Rock bottom man! Keep going until you reach rock bottom, then you won't need anyone's help to quit

I have reached and gone below rock bottom more times than I count. My guys graduated before me because of my gambling habit. I entered the university 2013 but graduated this year. I have tried to quit severally and relapsed. Im determined to stop now. I know how hard I worked for my salary I squandered

westlius:
Virtual betting is fraud
Y not main betting
Thats not mostly programed

I’m quitting everything

UptownVibes:
Your bad experiences so far is enough to stop you from gambling. From your mates graduating before you,the fact that your life is nothing to write home about.. How can you use your full month salary to gamble? Who will feed you for the rest of the month,who will pay your bills? Don't you think something is wrong with your mental health?

Stop now ,or remain the same way you are now when you are 40years..

Virtual is programmed to make you loose your hard earned money..

Whenever you have the urge to go play virtual bet,deposit the money in Piggyvest lock account.. Start saving your money there,instead of dashing it to some selfish bookies..

My 1cent..

I have to suffer the consequences. I don’t even have what to eat this morning and I have to go to work. It is well. I am done with the virtual for good this time

okoIYAyin:
I really understand and feel your pain. I wish i could do something to help you stop but in this case, only YOU can help yourself, no one else can. You have to be very determined, ready to count your losses and move on. Won't be easy of course but you have to try, cheers!

Thank you. Were you once addicted?

Tayorshd87:

Hello everyone. I remember opening a thread sometime in August 2020 about my addiction to sports betting and how it has finished me totally


https://www.nairaland.com/5996073/need-bet9ja-finished-life

The link is above.

I got so many comments and messages; both positive and negative. Some even messaged me privately with promises to follow my matter up. I discovered that the power to stop betting laid solely in my hands and I took action.

I sincerely want to thank everyone for their advice and suggestions. To the glory of God, I've overcome that addiction and I no longer play sports virtual betting anymore. There have been significant changes in my life.

I have also been able to offset my debts totally. The peace of mind I have these days cannot be explained. I remember I made mention of the face that I owed a particularll guy over a hundred thousand naira; I have been able to pay that debt wholly. I am at peace now with myself and my environment.

I have looked back and that is why I have decided to share my story and how I overcame this addiction.

I want to encourage as many as are passing through the same challenge. You will definitely overcome it as you follow my story.

The mods should please helpe push to front page as this will help a lot of people who are struggling at the moment.

I’m in this position right now. My life is ruined. Bro have you totally stopped the habit?

Reminderz:

that's because you've programmed your brain to always see it as a quick getaway or the shortcut to riches... so your brain won't think of other things you can do to make money, you are even killing your brain because all it thinks about is gambling and nothing else ...

do your best to leave it as soon as possible or else, it will destroy you... if you mingle with friends who see gambling as an hobby, dumb them... don't be found in betting shops... engage yourself in productive things instead, learn some new skills, read new books... think outside the box..

Thank you sir. I have really tried all these in the past. I find myself going back which I am more determined to stop now. I have nothing left. I have no friends. I live alone. Thank you very much. I hope to give my testimony soon

U cant win bet9ja or any bet u people should understand gambin is not good, the amount u cant give out as free that will not pain u dnt place it on bet

I have been trying to quit this habit since 2018. I keep going back. I’m drained

Is there a WhatsApp group for accountability for those ready to quit. I want to join please

Hello everyone
I don’t even know how to explain my thoughts.
I’m typing this from a place of pain and desperation.
My life has been ruined because of virtual gambling. I have lost over 1 million this year

I just lost my salary I got paid today. I will be 26 this November, my life is nothing to write about

I’m tired. I have tried to stop.

Please people save my life. I have sold my laptop, phone all to gamble
I am a fresh graduate who managed to graduate from school after 9 years. I dropped out of school due to gambling but I still find myself indulging in the habit hoping to receiver my losses. I am dying.

I got a job last month after i graduated as a sales boy. I got paid today 40,000 and I lost everything to virtual hoping to win.

Please people help me, how do I stop

Just this year, I spent my school fees, project money of 100,000 to gamble which I lost. I had to beg my old colleagues who graduated ahead of me for help to come up with my project money. I sold my tv stand to also raise the money.

I lied to my parents that I needed extra money for the project which I used that for to pay my fees.

They know about how gambling ruined my first university admission but they think I have stopped which I still haven’t till now.

Today I want to quit, my life is useless, I have nothing. I didn’t even buy pure water from the salary, I went straight from work to the virtual house.

I’m gone. I have tried to stop several time in the past and I still find myself in this habit. I’m tired please help me

I went ahead and lost everything I worked for throughout October. I made all these transfers to the bet shop now I have nothing to survive this November
